Coolant over flow hose from rad or thermostat neck?
No, the lever is a design feature but has nothing to do with the type of cap.
Your 13 psi cap is the one for the overflow port (presumably the thermostat neck), the rad should have a cap that doesn't open at all.

Nothing really. However, what if the cap that opens first is the one that doesnt have the overflow connected? It will just spew coolant all over the place.
I am pretty sure that two 13lb caps will open at different pressures. One WILL open before the other.

I'm running a twin turbo 300zx rad cap for the neck and radiator. I could just go buy a Y and run both. At the moment I have a cap on the neck with a hose clamp. I have not run the car yet with the new rad.

addressing the second part.
I have 2 relief caps on my setup,hoses connect and are T'eed to the overflow.
I have had absolutely Zero issues in 3 years with this.
I'd rather have 1 out of 2 caps open than ONE out of 1 NOT open.
